There’s another image, this time with the 007 graphic, from the upcoming James Bond movie, Skyfall, that has appeared online.
Looks a lot like Blade Runner, and with Craig’s unshaven mug, the movie suddenly looks very dark and somber.
Skyfall stars Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Dame Judi Dench, Naomie Harris, Berenice Mariohe, Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney, and more. The Sam Mendes directed film opens November 09, 2012.

I grew up watching the real James Bond movies. The ones with Shawn Connery in them. Even though I was underage and my brother and I had to fib about our age to get in to the theater. And, at first I liked the Roger Moore Bond films until I realized I was watching them through rose colored glasses while trying to pretend Moore was Connery. Each generation of Bond actor brought, in my humble opinion, less and less to the role. And then I saw Daniel Craig’s Bond. He is the best Bond since Connery and an worthy successor. Gone are the Roger Moore campiness. Gone are the simpering and primping of the other Bond wannabees. That said, even though I really like the Daniel Craig Bond movies, the Bond books and movies were a product of the mid-60s Cold War and I can’t help but think that it’s time we let the poor old franchise rest in peace. Mission Impossible suffers from a similar time-displacement – and the Avengers with Steed and Peel. Their era is past, and trying to modernize them just doesn’t do them justice. Of course, having grown up during the Cold War and having endured JFK at Dallas, Watergate, the draft riots, etc. I don’t see what’s so great about that era that anybody would want to celebrate it on film in the first place, but that’s just my opinion.
